Can't seem to see the text box on home page

Sure thing!

To set up your front page to look like the demo with the large image plus the box with text in the center of it as seen on the demo, open the editing screen for the page you have set to your Static Front Page, then complete the following steps:

– Under Page Attributes set the Template to Front Page.
– Add a title (for the larger text you see in the box on the demo), then add text to the content area (for the smaller text you see in the box on the demo).
– Add a Featured Image.
– Publish/update the page, then refresh your site and check it out.

Note: The featured image on the front page works best with images at least 1180 wide. (If needed, there is more sizing info for the theme down in the Quick Specs box at the bottom of the page here: https://wordpress.com/themes/sela/)

Let me know if you have any questions! ??

Hi Sarah- thanks for your help! i was able to get it close to sela’s demo theme.

Within the text box, I see HOME as the header which is the name of the menu. Is there any way to eliminate this from the text box and from each page as the name of the menu seems to show first thing on each page? Thanks!

You’re welcome! ??

Since you’re using the Jetpack plugin, you could add some CSS in Appearance > Edit CSS to hide the page titles, if you’d like.

To hide only the “Home” in the box on the front page, use this:

.hero-container-inner .entry-title {
	display: none;
}

Or if you want to hide all of the page titles (like Menu, Catering, Events, Contact Us) where they appear at the top left of the page in black when you load the individual page, you can use this:

.entry-title {
	display: none;
}

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much- that worked!

Great! You’re welcome!
